Located just a five-minute drive from Downtown Atlanta, Old Fourth Ward is an exciting neighborhood representing historic charm and modern sensibility. A haven for history buffs and urbanites alike, the O4W (as locals like to abbreviate it) employs smart city planning and creativity to maintain a close-knit community feel in this small piece of the Atlanta metropolis.
As the O4W's population grows, locals prefer to repurpose old buildings than to tear them down and erect sterile condos. Residents love the old-world feel and choose to build around it, reframing and refreshing their natural heritage. The best example of this phenomenon is Ponce City Market, a modern food hall and shopping center with offices and lofts in the historic Sears, Roebuck & Co. building.
In addition to its vibrant, urban vibe, Old Fourth Ward offers residents access to the Atlanta Beltline as well as the sprawling Historic Fourth Ward Park, Freedom Park, Central Park, and Piedmont Park.
